Myark Ventures

I just pieced together a very rare film of a late friend of mine Brian Jackson and his wife and placed on You Tube.
The last time I visited Brian, his wife served us cups of tea and jam scones while we sat in the front cabin of his Caracat while our cat designs which are identical and serve the same purpose for high performance, extremely economical.
The model I will manufacture is electric with a pivotal drive surface propulsion similar to Tom Kanes invention which Tom is another good friend.

Brian Jacksons CARACAT 1 CAME WHEN BRIAN SPOTTED AN ARTIST’S IMPRESSION OF A FUTURISTIC CATAMARAN FERRY IN A MAGAZINE AND DECIDED TO TURN THE IDEA INTO REALITY. CARACAT 1 TOOK SIXTH PLACE OVERALL IN THE RACE AND TO THE ASTONISHMENT OF THE POWER BOAT RACE ORGANISATION ITS SUCCESSOR, CARACAT TOO, WON THE 1966 AND 1967 RACES BY HUGE OVERALL MARGINS. A THIRD AND FINAL MODEL FOLLOWED, CARACAT AGAIN, AND BY THE TIME BRIAN RETIRED FROM THE WATER HIS BOATS HAD CONTESTED AND FINISHED IN EIGHT OCEAN RACES. CARACAT TOO IS NOW ON DISPLAY AT THE WANAKA MUSEUM AND STILL HOLDS THE OVERALL RACE RECORD FOR THE 100 MILE OFFSHORE POWER BOAT RACE.

 

Very nice, Down Under leading innovation again
Those scruffer pups are very cute too.
All the best from Jeff.

 

Did Brian invent the Z bow?

Hi Jeff
Nice to hear from you

I am not sure about the pontoons which as I see are manufactured in AU but they are miles out and are still the same boring old conventional cat tunnel hull.
I am about build the design that Brian and I swear by, which allows at least 30% more performance and fuel consumption than any competitor.
Brain traveled to AU in the early 70, s and a group back then called shark cat boats showed interest, but no matter how much Brain attempted to explain to shark cat, they just would not listen and Brian who in the end gave up on their conventional thinking and not willing to risk a few bucks on a prototype boat build.
I showed Brain my detailed 4.8 design cat, and he jumped out of his chair and excitedly said, that's it, that's it and could not believe I figured it out before seeing his exact design which is actually the same back end as the Myark barges including the latest Myark 9.m folding trailer barge I have at this stage 95% completed and are now filing new patent pending and then a media release, boat magazines and a film documentary I have filmed from start to finish during the one man build while looked down upon because I only own the clothes and shoes I stand in and not long ago have been in Civil litigation as the self-represented plaintiff since 2013 that ended in a 6 week trial against 10 defendants and their 9 lawyers trying to stop me exposing the defendants human right abuses.
Like Tom Kane, Brain cannot understand humans who do not listen to logic who stick to the same conventional cat designs, even Z Bow makes me wonder WTF

 

This a picture of Brian and his Caracat

 

Well, there is no "magic" to it. It is just simple naval architecture.


All you are doing is adding waterline length which increases the LD ratio in the process.
Both of which are beneficial in terms of resistance.

 

100% wrong

 

I take it - you're not a naval architect then?

 

Naval architects are not like inventors as I think outside the box like Brian Jackson, it shows you think inside the box as your explanation is 100% WTF

 

Aahh... I see, that's a no then.
That explains your nonsensical reply.

No wonder you don't understand the science behind it....

 

Ad Hoc, Could you please not have anything to do with any of my post for the reasons written below.
Thanks.

Know-it-alls have an inflated sense of worth and would occasionally use sarcasm and putdowns to belittle others. If you oppose their point of view, they may accuse you of being stupid or ignorant.

And because they want to prove that they are smarter than other people, they often resort to conflict.

They like to start arguments, even if the situation doesn’t call for a debate. This could be because know-it-alls like having the chance to prove their “superior” knowledge. Moreover, they always need to have the last word, regardless of how strong (or weak) their argument is.

Know-it-alls usually see their thoughts and opinions as “absolute truth.” So, when they see or hear a differing opinion, they immediately jump to conclusions. Instead of considering other people’s ideas and looking at the bigger picture, know-it-alls are too quick to judge.

Because they have a superior attitude, know-it-alls don’t care much about anyone except themselves. They only pay attention to those whom they deem worthy enough to listen to.

They try to draw attention away from others by making fun of them.

What you are attacking is exactly what you are doing yourself with your post.

HJS
Could you please do the same as asked your mate Ho Ad Hoc as I have no time for tommy knockers.
This is a boat design web site forum, not a competition who is better.
Thank you

 

It might be best to close this thread at this point since it doesn't seem to be going in a good direction.
